I have 3 MTX DVC 6000 10" subs all in one box and a MTX 6500D powering the subs. The subs are rated to 250RMS each and the amp puts out 775 watts at full power. Right now I have the amp running at 2.66 ohms, I already know that I am not getting the full amount of power out of that amp, all I am wondering is if I turn the gain up all the way on the amp. and leave it there will it blow the subs, or are they safe with the amp maxed out?? thank you

NO!!!!!! [Eek!]

They WILL blow if you do that. Adjusting the gain won't make the amp put out more power. It will likely clip and blow the sh*t out of your subs.
